Arguing cases before national courts
Trade unions can use international labor standards and the rulings of supervisory bodies to support their claims in national courts. Trade unions may include in their submissions the observations and recommendations of supervisory bodies, including the Committee of Experts and the Committee on Freedom of Association, to support their arguments.
In addition, several national courts have adopted international labor standards and the guidelines of the decisions of the supervisory bodies, and reflect them in their rulings. Trade unions often use the remedies of amparo or guardianship and actions of unconstitutionality. The following table shows some examples.
